ESCONDIDO  Despite smashing the course record, tying a section mark and winning her first individual title — by a whopping eight strokes — Sandy Choi was left wanting more.

“I’m not really satisfied with my 3-under today because I could’ve easily parred the last hole,” lamented Choi, who shot a 67 Thursday to win the San Diego Section championship at Escondido Country Club.

The Torrey Pines junior is referring to the double-bogey on her last hole, the par-3 ninth. Had she avoided that mishap, Choi would’ve broken the two-day section record of 10-under, set by Carlsbad’s Rachel Morris in 2009.

Still, Choi had a phenomenal tournament, blowing away the field. She broke the women’s course-record of 65 with a first-round 63.

“I had never shot 7-under,” she said, “so I’m really happy about that, and our team also won.”

Torrey Pines won its third straight section team title with a 724, beating Rancho Bernardo by a remarkable 90 shots. The Falcons entered the final day with a 49-stroke advantage over the Broncos. Carlsbad finished with 816, missing second by two shots.

“After the first day, we were kind of sure that we had this win,” said Choi. “We were leading by a lot of strokes, so we didn’t really have any pressure.”

Choi said Torrey Pines coach Chris Drake had pointed out to the girls before the match on Tuesday that the other sections would be eyeing their scores ahead of next week’s Southern California Regional at Murrieta, followed by the State Championships at Poppy Hills.

The messaged conveyed by the defending state champion Falcons:

“We want them to feel like they don’t have a chance at winning state,” she said.

Choi, who had only two rounds over par during October, will help determine how Torrey Pines performs.

“She’s been on fire the last month,” said Drake. “She’s peaking at the right time for us. She had an incredible round (Tuesday) followed up by a pretty darn good round today.”
